Matthias is a master of his profession.
Do you need a “cultured boyfriend” to impress your friends?
A “perfect son” to influence your business partners’ opinion of you?
Or maybe just a sparring partner to rehearse an argument?
Whatever it is, just rent Matthias!
While he excels at pretending to be someone else every day, just being himself is the real challenge.
In a corrosive comedy, Peacock captures with biting humour the essence of human relationships.

“The tragedy of a ridiculous man. His growing awareness and the inevitable realisation of a bitter truth: life is fiction, life is appearance, life is vanity. An ironic and bitter film, at times fiercely funny, that reflects the existential condition of the contemporary Man. There are echoes of Lanthimos and Östlund, but with a novel sense of compassion that is both sincere and exceptionally profound.”
Beatrice Fiorentino, Artistic Director of the Venice Critics' Week
